Existing Challenge; Among medium- and large-sized local mammals, the East Asian porcupine and the red muntjac are the most abundant and widely distributed species in Hong Kong. They were recorded in over 50% of areas surveyed in 2002-2006 by camera trapping (Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation). However, for one of their habitats, Tai Lam Country Park, which is located in the western part of the New Territories, the second largest national park in Hong Kong. Over the past decade, the park has suffered from frequent hillside fires and soil erosion. As afforestation is used as a remedial measure, lush fire-resistant vegetation can be seen such as Taiwanese acacia, Brisbane Box, for example (Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation). In fact, hill fire emergency is usually found in moderate slope and steep slope side, rough terrain, partially exposed rock. Due to long-term exposure to sunlight, there is less moisture every year, in addition, influenced by dry northwest monsoons, so the soil surface is weak and has a low amount of nutrient accumulation (Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation). Because limited by geographical-environmental factor, the growth speed of trees is slow compared to other planted forests. As a result, large burned areas and slow growth of vegetation cause wild animals such as Red Muntjac, this type of protected animal, to lose space for habitat and foraging. For example, being a herbivore, this mammal munches on leaves, twigs and various fruits. Furthermore, excluding the breeding season, this animal is solitary and territorial which likes to hide in thick shrubs and thick tree cover to prevent domestic dogs, Burmese pythons and humans from using secretions from under the eyes to mark their territory (SPCA). H......middle of paper......more strange to make cloth, or profit from making products, which they can seize from the Park area by holding them prisoner or shooting them. The Red Muntjac can be found in the thickets or forest on a foggy evening. Fodder harvesting may be one of the reasons for poor regeneration in the national park area. 3. Illegal Hunting and Poaching Hunting and poaching have been assessed as a serious threat to barking deer. Since Red Muntjac is a delicate venison, many villagers in Hong Kong, including some from the mainland, are favored by it, in addition, the horn and meat of Red Muntjac have very high medicinal value, for this reason, for earn an income, many of the male Red Muntjac have been hunted illegally, so it could cause a critical decline in the barking deer population. I also enjoy collecting preserved male skin skulls and catching or hunting fresh Red Muntjac for food.
